    Electrical Installation Condition Report

    Requested Mon 04 October 2021
    Responded  Mon 18 October 2021

    I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information specific to your council area:

    1. Do you currently collect the data of Electrical Information Condition Reports submitted to you detailing electrical hazards identified during a legal five yearly inspection?

    2. The number of Electrical Information Condition Reports carried out in privately rented homes that have been submitted to you since June 2020* (please specify the council area you are providing figures for in your response).

    3. Of the Electrical Information Condition Reports submitted to your council, please break down the number of Category 1 (C1) and Category 2 (C2) failures.

    4. The number of these Electrical Information Condition Reports that have subsequently had the necessary remedial electrical work carried out to make the installation safe.

    * Private landlords are required by law to submit Electrical Information Condition Reports that have identified C1 or C2 electrical hazards to the local authority, along with confirmation/proof that these have been fixed. This is following the introduction of mandatory five-yearly electrical checks in privately rented homes in England in June 2020.

    1. Electrical Information Condition Reports are requested with licensing applications.
